Team against shaktar:
Cech
Azpilicueta.Luiz.Terry.Bertrand
Romeu.Lamps
Moses.Marin.Mata
Torres

Team against man u:
Cech
Ivanovic.Luiz.Cahill.Cole
Ramires.Mikel
Mata.Oscar.Hazard
Sturridge

im not joking about sturridge, he is fast, amazing left footer and is selfish, if he had had the chances torres had against spurs he would have scored them, at least one

I am quite sure he would have scored yes, but i doubt he wil be chosen before Torres im sorry :) I could see him play against shaktar but not Lamp and Bertrand.

While the things u say about Sturridge are true I think ur discounting the like up play via the passing ability of Torres with the mazacar trio. I think our counter attack would be better but the build up would suffer and Sturridge needs work on his hold up play ability.

Obviously i agree with what you say about the passing and hold up play with torres, but sturridge is selfishly good in a way, hes not afraid to shoot which torres is, and i think if sturridge learned to play with the mazacar trio we would be faster at counter attacking

Just read a rumor stating that a. Madrid are looking to buy chicharito from man u in Jan to replace Falcao. If this is to be believed and it probably isn't then that means we stand a GOOD shot of signing him in Jan. Just imagine if we manage to sign him. We would be the scariest team in Europe without a doubt.

Do not forget PSG/CITY/RMD aswell :)

Well of course you have to include the typical suitors as well.

Can anybody tell us how is our loan players performed this week

Kalas & van aanholt were brilliant playing wing backs, kakuta missed the chance to make his debut by being late for training for the 3rd time so gt suspended, mceachran is phonomonal at passing & doing well defending stand out performer in the dhampionship. lukaku had a few chances v man ciy, de bruyne was amazing had another assist, think its 3 goals 3 assists in 8. anyone else?

(1)now that MATA has proved to be more creative than HAZARD in the recent past games is it true that Chelsea are considering buying his father who was equally creative during his days in the backroom?
(2)Sergio Ramos yesterday spent the whole day praising Chelsea for their new playing style. does that mean he might be joining Chelsea in the January window?
(3)Busquets was quoted last week speaking over the phone in a loo inquiring about life in London. It later came out that he was talking to Oriel Romeu. Does that link him to Chelsea in anyway?
(4)Romeu is better than Mikel. Right? {Ed061's Note - Absolute quality.}

We will get to know who is better when his playing time comes(January)

Valencia is looking to buy Romeu and i really hope Chelsea refuse to do so. But yes i really think he is alot better suited to our game than Mikel is.

ED001 not sure you have seen much of Thibaut Courtois but if you have what do you make of him and how does he compare to De Gea would like your opinion thanks

BLUEBLOOD {Ed001's Note - I take it you had a look at him tonight? He looks the business to be fair, a real quality young keeper. Still needs to work on his getting out for crosses, like most youngsters, but his shot stopping is first class. In that respect he is very similar to De Gea, except he has a bit more authority, though probably not quite as good at shot stopping. I think Cech has already been replaced, because, to me, he looks ready to be Chelsea's number one. There are not many young keepers that have his assurance, they are normally rash and prone to errors of judgement. I have been really impressed with him, really impressed. Him, De Gea and ter Stegen look to be the 3 best young keepers in the world. Hard to compare them properly, they all play in such different leagues and face different challenges because of that. Courtois does seem a bit more suited to the English game, more able to cope with the physical side of the game than De Gea.}
